PROPOSED PASSENGER DEPOT

[Welland Tribune, 22 October 1873]

The manager of the Welland Railway Company, T.R. Merritt, Esq., showed us the other day the plan of a proposed passenger depot, to be built in this place during the coming winter. The building will contain the ticket and telegraph offices of the Company, together with separate waiting rooms for ladies and gentlemen. The present station house will be moved back and will be used as a freight house. We also understand that the company is negotiating for the purchase of new passenger coaches, with all the latest improvements. These proposed changes have been urgently required for some time past and we are glad to see that steps are about being taken to meet the requirements of the public.
